Samsung has recently brought in the White Note to the Indian Market.Does it beats the style and looks of the Black?
Depends on personal preference I guess. I personally liked the white one because it's more stylish and fingerprints are less visible. And if you want to stand out from the crowd then get the white. If you want to be discrete, get the black.

LOL I think having this beast in one's hands makes one "stand out from the crowd" Plus White is too Appleish.
WHITE!!! most of the devices around us are black..go for white..stunin 5.3 beast in white is awesome
Also love my white note, its a beauty beast
After looking at some pics of a white Note recently I liked it so much it made me have some buyers remorse. I hadn't bothered even looking at one before getting the black, thinking naaaah that won't look good but when I saw it I was like damn!!! that is sweet!!! it just looks better in white. Of course color preference is completely subjective so that's just MHO. If I could get my hands on a white one with 32Gb internal to further justify the expense, I'd buy it in a second, long as she was new in the box.
dude definitely go for the white one ...alothough i have a blue (black) one
coz when i got in dec ,the white one was apprx 35k and mine was 30k so 5k just for colour was not worth it

Agreed but I just couldn't justify the 400$ hickup on the white one. Still happy with my black one though don't want people staring when I'm using an already eye catching phone.

LOL, you have a point. Although I kind of disagree with the white Note being Appleish. I had a white HTC trinity a year before iPhones came out so as far as I'm concerned, iPhones are HTCeish.
i've seen a video of it in white and it looks so sexy. I wish I had another month's patience to get white note. but yea as someone else said it all depends on preference
It's actually blue (very dark blue) not black, and white, but that's not a serious matter.
As for me, I always take the black variant when I buy devices with screens. The black bordering the screen makes the video experience 'cleaner' or 'brighter' or something --- can't think of the proper word for it. Something of a more genuine cinematic feel; the same feel demonstrated in a movie house with the lights off.
Of course, that could just be psychological and/or aesthetic but it does go easier on the eyes at any point. I'd try to cite sources but I'm too lazy atm. Of course, when you use the Note in the dark, there would be likely no difference. However, this preference for me in such devices only applies to the screen area. I once had my hands on a Nintendo DS Lite whose interior is black but the outer cover is red but it pleases me all the same. Same thing with the Note whose back is just some very dark blue.
Another thing though, the device looks super cool when the screen is off. Like the front is just a black, shiny slab that comes to life in a push of a button. :3
You gotta admit though, white is very eye-catching. Overkill on the eye-catching factor sometimes too.
My personal opinion - white is more for the female type of users I think. I've hold a galaxy s2 white and although it is very sexy, most people in my surroundings find it more suited for women.
Now, the White Note is very stylish in its white housing there's no doubt about it.....but if you check the streets, you'll notice that most women hold white phones and it looks this color is destined for the lady's market rather than male. The White housing gives the phone a sexy soft appealing look to the overall design. To choose between a black or white, I'll opt for the black at 101%. Just my personal thoughts about this.

I tend to agree. I prefer Black devices or dark brown to any light colored. the whole finger print thing is moot to me as anyone who is concerned about finger prints probably has 50 cases.....LOL I don't use em Like my devices stock and easily pocket fitting.
white or black..

was about to opinion the same. As per color theory black is more suited for better video experience. Haven't come across a theater with white surrounding near the screen.
Black is best. White could be more dirty with the time.
So I can speak from myself saying that black is very good

Not true
My white note has the exynos, I think you will find that the difference in chips is between the european or international ones and the version for the US carriers which are probable going for the snapdragon because of compatability with US LTE
Personally I think my white note looks totally cool, but then I've never worried about what other people think, I just get what I like and to hell with the rest of the world

I'm wondering if they don't have a lot of the orchid grey.
Maybe it's just bestbuy, maybe not.
How many orchid Grey's have been delivered?
Mine (AT&T model) was just marked as shipped today directly from Samsung.
I got one in from att yesterday I like it. Because you can see the contrast between the metal frame and the body of the phone.

I pre-ordered the orchid grey Note 8 from Best Buy, and had instant buyers remorse. I almost cancelled it and ordered the black one, but decided to hold off until I could see it in person. I saw it at a Verizon store this past week and am so glad that I didn't cancel. I liked it a lot better than the black one. I too like the contrast of the black front and camera alongside the grey.

I thought the same thing too. In ATT they only had the black one to look at. So I ordered the gray one. So I looked online and for a sec it looked like light purple and I said damn I screwed up. So then I watched a video on YT and I was like yes I made the right choice. You will like it its cool. When I had my Note 7 I had the silver one and I liked that one. It was kinda of like chrome. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy it.

I have the S8+ in Orchid Grey, and it's so beautiful the only cases I could bear to put on it are 'clear'.
Unfortunately, this time around in the UK, the only pre-order colours available for the Note 8 are Black or Gold. Went for the Black but would have preferred the Blue.
In some lighting there is a hint of purple but you really have to look for it. Mostly it's just shiny silver much like the note 7.
Got mine love it, but that all black is slick too.... I really wish we had the deep sea blue option
Preordered mine from Sprint, got it Tuesday. Would've ordered the blue, bored of the black. It's going to be in an opaque case 99.99% of the time anyways. There's a slim color s strip around the camera cutout in all the cases I have (so far), which is kind of a cool contrast

yeah I received my orchid grey ATT model Thursday from Samsung direct.
My tmobile variant is an orchid grey. I definitely don't want the black one and this look nothing like purple to me!

I got the Orchard Gray one as for the notes I have already had a black one, have had a white one which they didn't offer, and have had a gold one.
I still want my pink note that they offered several times but only in select markets. I hate when Samsung does that. Back when I had to turn in my Note 7 for the recall I temporarily ended up going with the iPhone 7 plus in rose gold which was pink!
I just wish Samsung offered a edge version and a non edge version of the Note 8's like they did with the S7. I would buy a non edge version in a heart beat as I don't like the edge screen and it's too hard to find a tempered glass screen protector that works with a case. Even non tempered glass screens it can peel.
I pre-ordered my Verizon orchard grey 9-2 and got it on 9-7. Works great!

Much less orchid than grey. It's perfect and fingerprints are definitely not an issue as black tends to be.

You guys at least get this option. In Oz it's just good old Black and Gold... Only the 64gb version too...
Seriously, they could've sent a few of the other colours out....
If we want Orchid grey or Coral blue we have to buy a grey import that means no local warranty and having to pay a but load more for it from overseas suppliers. We're already getting a$$ raped over the price - $1500AUD retail - that's about $1200USD, and we don't even get a choice over a colour... They argue that these are the colours bought here. Of course they are, little choice if that's all you get. That's almost like arguing the sun is really shiny but only in the day....
Samsung suck in that respect...
I have an Orchid Gray device. Got it from T-Mobile.
Love the color and contrast to the the front.
Don't like black phones and black cars as a rule, besides heating up in the Sun much more, but if had no choice, I would get colored case. As is I got orchid gray and clear case on top, looks good. I wonder why they limit colors for certain markets? Impossible to predict which color will sell and then deal with unsold inventory?

Yeah that deep sea blue is gorgeous, I'm pretty upset we weren't offered that in the states. That said, this black is really something else. Best looking all black phone ever made, methinks.
I can't decide whether to get the Deep Sea Blue Color or Midnight Black? I love both colours the most among other ones available.
Most of the time I will be using a Rugged "Clear Back" Case of Tech21 or Spigen or Otterbox so that I will get good drop protection without sacrificing the phone's elegant feel. And sometimes I wont be using a case at all.
I really like the Deep Sea Blue colour because in different lighting conditions the phone appears exceptionally sleek in every way.
Well on a side note if I use a Black Case, then my device visually becomes a black phone.
But the Midnight Black phone might be prone to a lot of fingerprints whereas the Deep Sea Blue one may not show that much.
However, the Midnight Black with its black almost bezel-less front, black rear and especially black "side frames" makes the phone like a complete screen on the palm of the hand.
But still can't decide which colour to get they're both very gorgeous looking devices. I love them both, but I have to go with one color that stands out the most.
And which phone will look more future-proof, since I am getting the 256GB Internal Flash Memory (256GB ROM) one from Hong Kong and are very expensive (for me) a bit over $1180 USD and I will be using this phone for a couple of years.
I've got the 256Gb dual SIM from China/Hong Kong in blue and it is stunning! I am also using the Samsung clear view stand case in blue ... it looks great and is a superb phone! I'm not going to root as I paid £20 for the full advert removal via Disconnect Pro & previously the main reason for rooting was advert removal!

I got the black after a lot of deliberation. Happy as larry [emoji847][emoji847]. The black does look all the things you mentioned and the screen just stands out a hell of a lot. I use a black case on it too.

black.
I'm an old person, trust me on this, live a little because it's a short ride. If the blue is talking to you, buy it and never look back.
Buy the blue. If you hate it, throw it in a black case and move on. Best of both worlds!
Get the Blue. They always have a black one it's to common. I have the gray one and I love it. I would have got the blue one if they had it at the time. Also the black one has no contrast to the sides. If the sides were chrome like on the gray one it would be cool.
...
Maple Gold is best 4 me!
Get the black one! Looks powerful sleek and elegant, I am using an aluminium frame with cristal back case and looks formidable!!
Many phones are available in black but very few in this shade of blue. Get the blue one, its more unique and it is definitely a stunning color for the Note 8. Chances are you wont regret it but if you do get tired of the color, put a solid color case on it.
Why am i only seeing blue and pink on the samsung website.
Wheres the midnight black or dark blue or bronze?
that is all they have to start, give me a purple one!
I ordered the copper metallic. Australia got 3 options: Midnight black, ocean blue, and copper metallic.
On the US they only have Blue and Purple because on the S9 sales black didn't sell well at all.

I don't think I see people have a blue phone quite often. Kind of weird marketing strategy.
I had the choice of Blue, Black and Purple in the UK. Went for the Blue as black will just look like a slab. The blue isn't too light and will show up dark in the night so I'm all for it. As for the yellow S Pen - I don't mind it.

I do like the black bezels,but,I couldn't disagree more,especially with the limited & seemingly arbitrary color options varying from region to region.
All color options (that Samsung chooses to use) should be available to all regions on Day One of pre-orders going live.
Also,not everyone likes to rock a case or body skin.
Of course,anyone who has been tuned-in to all things Samsung knows they'll offer some of the currently excluded color options (or new ones) at a later date,to reinvigorate the buzz surrounding the Note 9.
I wanted the Black model & could choose to import it to the US,but,the Ocean Blue is dark enough for me to suffice.
I get why peeps aren't enthused w/the color options,especially when the price of admission is over $1k (less any trade-ins)..
Just going to get a black Dbrand skin for it I guess. I hate blue, but I'm certainly not using purple. Putting a black case on the phone you'll still see plenty of the ugly blue on the back of the phone at the cutouts. I will cover everything with a skin. Thanks Samsung for forcing me to buy a blue phone.

The Ocean Blue woulda been my 2nd choice at best,if given the option of Black.
However,after seeing the Ocean Blue & Lavendar Purple colors in person @ Best Buy & T-Mobile,the colors of both seemed to be darker/richer than what I've seen in the various post-Unpacked videos & definitely better than the STOOPID Renders (all renders belong in the lowest depth of the world's nastiest septic tank,LOL).
Regardless,at minimum,Samsung shoulda offered the most common of color choices everywhere,black & some variation of gray/silver/platinum.
Don't get me started on that #*&!%$# banana stylus..................................
Man I ordered the Ocean Blue-Balls so at this point I'm thinking of getting some non adhesive black duck tape and applying it because Samsung wanted to be an ass about the color. LOL, JK I'm going to get the skin and the put it in the case. However I might consider the duck tape until everything comes in.

I have in the past used Note 1 then upgraded to Galazy S4 and now Note 9. When I tried all these devices in store before buying. Their screens appeared to be excellent. But once I bought them and used them for a few days I slowly started to see issues with screens. The note 1 I had slowly developed this redness on right edge of the phone over time visible only on grey background under low brightness. I got it replaced 3 times but then gave up. After that when I switched to S4 it had this reddish top and greenish bottom visible only on low brightness and white or light grey background. I got it replaced once and again got a similar screen with the same issue plus overall slightly yellowish tint on the whole screen. So once again I gave up and was using the same device from past 5.8 years. Now when I tried the Note 9 in stores i just loved the screen and ordered it. Now after using it for a few days I find on light backgrounds that the screen is slightly brighter at the bottom than the top. In fact it's like it's whiter at the bottom than at the top. I was thinking are there amoled screens which have uniform whiteness/brightness across the screen. In all other aspects the screen is perfect to me but this issue once I know it's there is somewhat annoying to me. How is your screen ?

You do know that Sony is failing in the smartphone department right? They currently in the same situation as LG. Unfortunately, the screen won't save their smartphone division.
Edit: Playstation is where Sony gets their money these days. Sad to see.
"A growing thorn in Sony’s side is its mobile handset business which counts its revenue, primarily from its Xperia line of handsets under the Mobile Communications segment. Sales of $6.88 billion were down 5% from the previous year and the group posted a loss of $255 million.
The mobile communications group guided to a further 12% drop in sales for fiscal 2018 and a projected loss of $138 million. The group does see some light at the end of the tunnel – 5G wireless technology."
They gave been losing money year over year, quarter over quarter man. Their lack of innovation is dragging them down like LG.
By the way, last edit. Sony didn't make that OLED screen. LG Display did.
Displaymate rated the Note 9 as having the best display ever on a mobile phone. Just as they did for the S9, and Note 9 before that. Pretty much every new top of the line Samsung device trumps the best there was before it.... and the best there was has pretty much always been on a Samsung device. Sammy makes the best displays.
In any case, you can find other very good displays on other phones that look pretty much as good, but when a place like Displaymate puts a "best ever" sticker on a device's display, it is for a reason. Note 9 display is not much different than the Note 8 display for instance, but it is enough of an improvement to warrant the top billing from Displaymate.

and now since what's on the internets is always "true", people acctualy believe anything nowadays if its well framed and worded.

Actually,it appears to be nothing more than a marketing company hired by Sony:
https://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/legal/testresults/xperia-xz3/
https://www.strategyanalytics.com/
https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=1051783
All companies on this level tend to use such garbage "research" for marketing,all claims like this should come with an e-coupon code for a pinch pound of salt.
What's worse is peeps getting their panties in a wad,feeling the need to either rationalize their choice in phones,trolling those that have "x" phone,& the fanboi behavior that's fueled by the fluff articles.
The Note 9 is a nice phone,got one myself.
Is it the absolute best out there? In the eye of the beholder & nothing more.
Others choosing something else is equally fine,one would be hard-pressed to actually find a truly terrible phone w/o intentionally seeking one out.
Note 9 earpiece smudges won't go away
Hey I guys I bought the note9 from 6 days ago. One day I was just rubbing the top bezel ( the space that has selfie camera, iris, led, ect) suddenly I saw 2 smudges, one above the earipeice, one under. I kept rubbing it and it doesn't go away. I believe that maybe when I was rubbing my hands were sweating so water entered beneath the glass. Here's a picture I posted here so maybe you'll get what I mean. If anyone has this issues or fixed please share it here. If the attachment is not working please say.
Thanks

Take it back & exchange for a new one.
Any attempts to fix it on your own will likely make it worse.

All note 9 owners can you please open any site with white background in google chrome and when the phone is held in hand in portrait mode do you see even slight difference between the white levels at the top and bottom of the screen. Please reply. Its very slight but its there.

I opened Samsung browser with no tabs open white screen. Slightly yellow or warm color. Looks pretty even but if I were to be extremely critical top side is a more darker maybe.
The white is definitely not like the note 8 white . Using amoled photo with slight blue light setting.

My Note 9 has an even white color across the whole screen. It also has a bit truer whites than my Note 8. Part of that may be that my Note 8 is now a year old, but overall I believe Samsung tuned the contrast down a bit on the Note 9 from the Note 8. Just to be clear, I am using the exact same display settings on both phones.... so I am getting an accurate comparison of the Note 9 vs Note 8. There is very little difference, you'd have to literally be looking at them side by side to notice the slight difference.

looks as if you have a glass or plastic film. the cutout of the speaker is to high for it being the original glass
Compare home screen icons on the note 8 and note 9. Let me know what difference you see. I see the note 9 not being as sharp. But then on the same token , the note 9 like I said earlier is more natural and appeasing to the eyes.

Exactly that is what I am trying to say. The screen is beautiful with the best whites I have seen on a amoled screen and its pretty even as well. But my eyes seem quite sensitive to screens and I also feel the top is somewhat darker.
